Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Sunday 26th March I will be attempting to run the furthest I have ever run and take on the Liverpool Half Marathon. I wanted to challenge myself but also raise money for an extremely worthy cause. When deciding on a charity, being a Primary School Teacher and working with so many children every day - makes Alder Hey's children's charity close to my heart. I have attached some information below about what they do...

Alder Hey Children’s Charity is an independent registered charity (charity number 1160661) which provides vital funds to make Alder Hey in the Park a truly world-class, patient-friendly hospital – making a crucial difference to the 330,000 patients and families who visit Alder Hey every year.

Since October 2013, the Charity has invested £25million into the new hospital, funding a range of life-saving medical equipment and facilities that are making a real difference to families every day, but we still need your support.

At Alder Hey we see childhood disease as a monster. 
Monsters come in all shapes and sizes, at any time, day or night and for boys and girls alike. Monsters can however, be fought. Our staff at Alder Hey’s dedicated research, innovation and education centre, our ‘Institute in the Park’, are fighting monsters every single day. 
Alder Hey Children’s Hospital is leading the way in medical breakthroughs that will improve the lives of children now and for generations to come. But there is much more to be done.  

Your support takes us a step closer to expanding our Institute in the Park, enabling us to develop the next generation of discoveries and enhancing the way in which we treat and interact with our young patients. It will also continue to allow us to give every single child who comes to Alder Hey the opportunity to take part in a medical research trial. 

Alder Hey’s young patients take immense pride in helping to improve healthcare for others as well as themselves 
More industry-leading research trials mean better care and treatment for children. 
It means giving children hope for an even better future.
